Fran Drescher

Biography

Francine Joy "Fran" Drescher was born on September 30, 1957 in Queens, New York City, New York to Sylvia Drescher, a bridal consultant & Mort Drescher, a naval systems analyst. Fran attended Hillcrest High School in New York with another now-famous name, Ray Romano. She was a studious girl and was quite popular. In fact, at age fifteen, she'd met the man she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. That man was Peter Marc Jacobson. Her first break was in the unforgettable movie, Saturday Night Fever (1977) with John Travolta. She continued to play small roles in movies, until she came up with the idea for The Nanny (1993). She was visiting a friend in England and came up with the plot line. The Nanny (1993) became an instant success, and so did Fran. Since then, she has been in films such as The Beautician and the Beast (1997) (which she also produced) and Picking Up the Pieces (2000) co-starring Woody Allen. Fran has since divorced her husband Jacobson. She is a cancer survivor and an inspiration to women everywhere.

The Nanny: A World I Never Want to Leave

Between the witty banter of Niles and C.C.’s fiery romance, a stunning Manhattan townhouse, a fabulous nanny with a designer wardrobe, and a charming Broadway producer—The Nanny is, without a doubt, the world I’d love to live in forever. The show gives us a unique glimpse of New York City from different social perspectives. At its heart, it tells the story of an ordinary woman—a modern-day Cinderella—who dreams of the glitz and glamour of the big city. Fran Fine, a door-to-door makeup saleswoman
